3/4 ton without full float axle

Does anyone have any input on the relative strength of this axle? Is it appreciably weaker than the 14 bolt full floater? What does it take to break it?

I have put almost 600/600 HP/tq from a 496 big block through one. Only mod was done was a rebuild, and a Detroit locker. I had the truck for only a couple months, but I beat on it like it owed me money. Plus there are still cromo axle shafts, and higher spline count axles.

The guy I sold it too sent me some pics after he had it painted. Basically telling me how much he still loved the truck.
